"There's no answer at Nick's or Sara's." Grissom informed Warrick.
"Do you think something's happened to them?" Warrick asked with growing concerned.
"There is a possibility. The officers on duty left 2 hours ago. They had another call."
"Maybe we should go check it out." Warrick suggested.
"My thought's exactly."
**********
"You asshole! What the hell are thinking? They're going to catch you." Sara shouted.
Hank who was waving his gun around and pacing back in forth, deciding what to do stopped in his tracks and starting walking towards her.
She held her breath, expecting him to hit her.
"Who do you think you are, talking to me like that? I hold your lives in my hand, bitch."
"I'm not afraid of you." She tried her best not to let her fear show. That's what he wants, she told herself.
"Really?" He replied smugly. "I know a lot about the two of you. I have been watching you for a while. I know about your relationship." He walked behind Sara. "You may not be afraid of me Sara, but I know what would hurt you. I see the look in your eyes every time you see a victim's face. And I can make that pain closer to home."
Sara froze.
Hank grinned when he saw the look on her face as realization hit her like a ton of bricks. Nick.
He walked behind her and bent over to whisper in her ear. "You know, this is all your fault. I warned you. If you hadn't left me, neither of you would be here now. Now, you are going to pay." He hissed.

Warrick and Grissom rushed as fast as they could to the crime scene without getting pulled over. They both hoped for the best but the worst case scenarios kept replaying over and over in their minds. Their worst fear was finding Nick and Sara dead. As they pulled up in front of the house they saw Nick's car parked in front of the door. They both grabbed a flashlight and got out. Warrick went inside the house while Grissom checked around the premises. As Grissom reached the back of the house, he saw the flashlight which still remained on the ground and a CSI kit was lying open not far from it. Something else caught his attention. As he drew closer he saw that the rock had what looked like blood on it.
"Warrick!"
"Yeah?" He replied when he reached Grissom's side. He pointed to the bloody rock.
"There's no one inside." He informed Grissom.
"I think we've found our crime scene."
**********
He was right. Sara thought to herself. This was all her fault. It's her fault Nick was here. It would be her fault if they didn't make it.
"Shut up. It's not her fault we're here, and I will not let you make her feel guilty for this."
"Oh yeah? I almost forgot. It was your fault that she's here, wasn't it? You were the one that let the officers go." Hank said smugly. "Oh, I almost forgot. Did you ever wonder where they had to go in such a hurry?" He laughed. "I sent that call in."
"You son of a bitch!"
"It gets better."
"You're just jealous that Sara didn't love you because you're such a bastard!" Nick added trying to make him flustered so he'd end up doing something stupid that might help them out of this mess. What did Sara see in this guy?
"You are starting to get on my nerves."
"Well, you're an asshole." Nick said, still trying to remain calm and not get angry.
He took in a deep breathe and it looked as if he was going to blow up, but instead he just turned toward Nick with an evil smile on his face.
"I just had a change in plans. She dies first, and you get to watch." He said with a smirk.
**********
"Take this evidence to Greg and have him process it ASAP." Grissom told Warrick. They had to find them soon if they wanted to be sure that they found them alive.
"Sure thing."
Warrick grabbed the evidence and headed back to the lab. Grissom took out his cell phone and began dialing.
"Willows."
"Catherine, I'm sorry to have to call you on your day off, but Nick and Sara are missing and we need someone to cover a crime scene."
"I'm on my way. Just give me 20 minutes."
*********
He untied Sara's hands and jabbed his gun into her already injured temple. She winced but said nothing. "Get up!" He ordered. She stood up, but even though she did it as slow as possible she still felt dizzy.
"Walk over in front of your lover boy and stand facing him."
She did as he said, although she couldn't figure out why she was listening to him. He was going to kill her anyway. She just couldn't think. Her body was reacting the way she had been trained. Listen to the guy with the gun.
She stopped in front of Nick, and he watched in horror as he raised the gun to her head.
"Any last requests?" He asked, grinning.
"Do you think something's happened to them?" Warrick asked with growing concerned.
"There is a possibility. The officers on duty left 2 hours ago. They had another call."
"Maybe we should go check it out." Warrick suggested.
